Excellent price for one of those. (And under G&L warranty too). Somebody should snatch it up. |

I wonder if the B Stock part is the terrible string alignment? Hopefully the neck needs only to be moved within the pocket a little. It’s the only thing that kept me from buying it. |

Didn't notice it until you mentioned it. It looks like the E string saddle is slightly angled, so maybe if it's straightened (as they're supposed to be) it brings the E string in a bit more from the fingerboard edge? At any rate, I'm not seeing anything too egregious overall, but might be worth an inquiry. |

I did email them. Waiting to hear back, I’d really like to try a G&L |

And yeah I think you’re right, looks like the saddle is just crooked. |

Does anyone know if they have a return policy for b stock stuff? Website doesn’t say, as far as I can tell. |

Looks like all the strings are off towards the bass side not just the E string. If you can return it at no cost probably worth a try. |

Yep you’re right. Either the nut is off or the neck needs to be moved |

If that was 5-string, I would have hammered my PayPal card already! |

Well I went ahead with it. They replied and said the photo wasn’t of the actual bass and that they inspect and set up before shipment. Also, there’s a month long return period. Hopefully this won’t suck like the short scale tributes I tried. |

Thanks Tim! I just couldn’t get one of the shorties with a non-twisted neck. Such a bummer. |

Congrats! You're pretty much getting the MIA electronics and PUPs in an Indonesian made bass/inspected in US for a 2010 price. These basses are big, beefy and aggressive sounding and will make your guitarist cower in a corner.

I bought one of those a while back. Excellent bass, but something wasn't quite right... the notes did not sound right to me on it. Like well...I'm a Luthier as some of you know. The cosmetic condition was excellent, the issue was hidden from the average person. I decided to examine the frets carefully. Although they LOOKED like they were seated well, they were NOT. I glued every fret down, using pressure, and then, leveled, recrowned and polished them. It made all the difference in the World! A great, killer sounding bass for under 400 bucks, is a great deal. Too bad I'm just not playing it at all now. |
